COMBUSTION IN IC ENGINES.

Image
Hey guys in this post we will talk about the fuel behaviour and the combustion process in the IC (internal combustion) engines and we will also look at the various important terms that each and every automotive enthusiast should know about the combustion process i n IC engines. What is Combustion? It is the rapid and high temperature oxidation of fuel with liberation of fuel energy. The requirements for initiating the combustion process are: ·        Combustible air-fuel mixture ·        Means for starting the combustion and formation, stabilisation and propagation of flame inside the combustion chamber of the engine. Some of the very important terms: Ignition Lag or Delay period - It is the first time interval between the instant of spark and the instant when there is noticeable rise in the pressure due to combustion.  Self-ignition temperature - The temperature at which fuel will ig...

TWIN CHARGING AND FUTURE OF FORCED INDUCTION SYSTEMS

In the previous post we told you about the Forced Induction Devices and later We talk about Turbochargers and Superchargers. Now what we see is that sometimes you would find yourself unable to decide about which is better:                 1. Turbocharging the engine?                                      or              2. Supercharging the engine?        Turbocharging will be more efficient but not as fun as the Supercharger.                                   Therefore :           SUPERCHARGER+TURBOCHARGER = TWINCHARGER                                           Twinchar...
